Graded modal types systems and coeffects are becoming a standard formalism to deal with context-dependent computations where code usage plays a central role. The theory of program equivalence for modal and coeffectful languages, however, is considerably underdeveloped if compared to the denotational and operational semantics of such languages. This raises the question of how much of the theory of ordinary program equivalence can be given in a modal scenario. In this work, we show that coinductive equivalences can be extended to a modal setting, and we do so by generalising Abramskys applicative bisimilarity to coeffectful behaviours. To achieve this goal, we develop a general theory of ternary program relations based on the novel notion of a comonadic lax extension, on top of which we define a modal extension of Abramskys applicative bisimilarity (which we dub modal applicative bisimilarity). We prove such a relation to be a congruence, this way obtaining a compositional technique for reasoning about modal and coeffectful behaviours. But this is not the end of the story: we also establish a correspondence between modal program relations and program distances. This correspondence shows that modal applicative bisimilarity and (a properly extended) applicative bisimilarity distance coincide, this way revealing that modal program equivalences and program distances are just two sides of the same coin.

We consider multi-agent systems where agents actions and beliefs are determined aleatorically, or by the throw of dice. This system consists of possible worlds that assign distributions to independent random variables, and agents who assign probabili ties to these possible worlds. We present a novel syntax and semantics for such system, and show that they generalise Modal Logic. We also give a sound and complete calculus for reasoning in the base semantics, and a sound calculus for the full modal semantics, that we conjecture to be complete. Finally we discuss some application to reasoning about game playing agents.
Although automated reasoning with diagrams has been possible for some years, tools for diagrammatic reasoning are generally much less sophisticated than their sentential cousins. The tasks of exploring levels of automation and abstraction in the cons truction of proofs and of providing explanations of solutions expressed in the proofs remain to be addressed. In this paper we take an interactive proof assistant for Euler diagrams, Speedith, and add tactics to its reasoning engine, providing a level of automation in the construction of proofs. By adding tactics to Speediths repertoire of inferences, we ease the interaction between the user and the system and capture a higher level explanation of the essence of the proof. We analysed the design options for tactics by using metrics which relate to human readability, such as the number of inferences and the amount of clutter present in diagrams. Thus, in contrast to the normal case with sentential tactics, our tactics are designed to not only prove the theorem, but also to support explanation.
Ensemble trees are a popular machine learning model which often yields high prediction performance when analysing structured data. Although individual small decision trees are deemed explainable by nature, an ensemble of large trees is often difficul t to understand. In this work, we propose an approach called optimised explanation (OptExplain) that faithfully extracts global explanations of ensemble trees using a combination of logical reasoning, sampling and optimisation. Building on top of this, we propose a method called the profile of equivalent classes (ProClass), which uses MAX-SAT to simplify the explanation even further. Our experimental study on several datasets shows that our approach can provide high-quality explanations to large ensemble trees models, and it betters recent top-performers.
We propose modal Markov logic as an extension of propositional Markov logic to reason under the principle of maximum entropy for modal logics K45, KD45, and S5. Analogous to propositional Markov logic, the knowledge base consists of weighted formulas , whose weights are learned from data. However, in contrast to Markov logic, in our framework we use the knowledge base to define a probability distribution over non-equivalent epistemic situations (pointed Kripke structures) rather than over atoms, and use this distribution to assign probabilities to modal formulas. As in all probabilistic representations, the central task in our framework is inference. Although the size of the state space grows doubly exponentially in the number of propositions in the domain, we provide an algorithm that scales only exponentially in the size of the knowledge base. Finally, we briefly discuss the case of languages with an infinite number of propositions.
In this paper we use results from Computable Set Theory as a means to represent and reason about description logics and rule languages for the semantic web. Specifically, we introduce the description logic $mathcal{DL}langle 4LQS^Rrangle(D)$--admit ting features such as min/max cardinality constructs on the left-hand/right-hand side of inclusion axioms, role chain axioms, and datatypes--which turns out to be quite expressive if compared with $mathcal{SROIQ}(D)$, the description logic underpinning the Web Ontology Language OWL. Then we show that the consistency problem for $mathcal{DL}langle 4LQS^Rrangle(D)$-knowledge bases is decidable by reducing it, through a suitable translation process, to the satisfiability problem of the stratified fragment $4LQS^R$ of set theory, involving variables of four sorts and a restricted form of quantification. We prove also that, under suitable not very restrictive constraints, the consistency problem for $mathcal{DL}langle 4LQS^Rrangle(D)$-knowledge bases is textbf{NP}-complete. Finally, we provide a $4LQS^R$-translation of rules belonging to the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL).
